Chapter 20

“So.” Sienna was sitting between her sister and Alexis in the back of the car. “Before we arrive, I need to tell you something.” She turned to Alexis, because her sister already knew—although Taissa surely didn’t know how fond Sienna had grown of Justine these past couple of weeks.

“Shoot.” Alexis was all glammed up in that quietly luxurious way that was all the rage these days. She would turn a lot of heads tonight.

“Um, well, I’ve been spending a lot of time with Justine lately.”

“Did you do more volunteering at the shelter?” Alexis didn’t have a clue—and why would she.

“No.” Sienna should have, but she’d been too busy, in between shooting the movie, whiling away the hours in bed with Justine. “It’s different. We’ve been, um…”

“They’ve been hooking up,” Taissa blurted out.

“What the hell?” Sienna shot daggers at her sister with her eyes.

“I’m just trying to help,” Taissa said matter-of-factly. “We’re almost there.”

“Wait. What?” Alexis said. “You’ve been hooking up with Justine? Since when?”

“Since the day we met,” Sienna said, a warm glow spreading through her.

“No way.” Alexis angled her body fully toward Sienna. “All this time?”

“Yeah.” Sienna threw in her best smile. She didn’t know how she would feel if things were the other way around—it was impossible to think of without a violent pang of jealousy coursing through her. “It was very casual at first, but now, it’s, like, a thing.”

“They’re in luuurrve,” Taissa said.

“Are you?” Alexis knotted her eyebrows together as though that was the strangest news she’d heard in a long time.

“We, um, like each other a lot,” Sienna stammered. “I thought you should know, going forward with the shoot, and also because we’re going to this show together tonight. It’s not something I want to lie to you about.”

“Are you actually in love with her?” Taissa asked.

Yes, Sienna wanted to scream, but the back seat of this car was not the place for that. She and Justine had broached the subject and neither of them seemed very reluctant to admit to their growing feelings, yet it was still so early and delicate.

“It’s early days, but we’re kind of officially dating now, so,” Sienna said, wholly unable to wipe that stupid grin off her face.

“I didn’t know you were into older women,” Alexis said in that laconic way she had.

“She’s not,” Taissa said. “She’s into difficult, hard-to-get women.”

So much for having her sister by her side for moral support, although this was perfectly predictable Taissa behavior.

“Oh, yes. Then I totally see it.” Alexis smiled. “Although, honestly, having done all this research on her, I think underneath whatever it is Justine’s trying to present to the outside world, she’s a real sweetheart.”

“She so is,” Sienna said, because she couldn’t help herself. “She’s rough around the edges, but she’s such a presence.”

“Fuck,” Taissa said. “You are in love.” She patted Sienna’s knee. “I so can’t wait to meet this wonder woman now.” She left her hand on Sienna’s knee for a moment. “She’d better not break your heart or she’ll have me to deal with.
